Poetry Club, day 14

If you’ve read The Joy of Poetry, you know I have a note in the Acknowledgments apologizing to people who gave me permission to use a poem that for one reason or another I didn’t end up using. This is one of those poems. Not only did Marcus give permission, but we have the same publisher, who also agreed. So here it is. A science-y love poem.

I enjoy science and poetry together. It’s interesting to see which direction the poet goes, and the results are often unpredictable (just like science experiments can be…. 🙂

I like this line: “Send mom round the rings” Haha! Can’t every mom just envision that and what that means?
It’s interesting; the camera pose and how all of it is a deeper metaphor. Makes me stop and think- and it’s also unexpected.

I’ve also enjoyed reading a few poems by Madeleine L’Engle; she’s mixed science and poetry, too, just as she did with her fiction.
